Thread: knife sharpening systems what do you use ?

I'm currently looking into the lansky knife sharpening system is it any good or is there one out there that better ?

been using lansky 3-stone system for about 20 years, outdoor and kitchen knives.

very happy with it, consistent, not super fast, but very good results.

pretty easy to make a scissor sharpening jig for the lansky as well.

I use a selection of stones and steels, maintaining a constant angle on both is key. If your not OCD on things that cut being sharp then the lanski or any similar system that controls your angle is probably a good idea. Im a fan of a "micro bevel" on hard knives but it does mean you have to be gentile/careful hocking or cutting to bone.

Got a soft knife no sharpening system will help you

I use a shone to sharpen and then a steel in between sharpenings to straighten the edge

I use an edge pro,
Does a great job an gets my knives "scary sharp" as the misses says

Ring Geoff and have a chat with him after looking at the vid's. Make sure you keep a firm grip on your knives after sharpening as the old method's dont compete. Gutting/skinning a mob of goats 6-10 requires only 1 flick of the steel when using the Svord drop point to keep up that edge. Amazing tool .

I use different grades of sandpaper and the method from the svord website

I use the edge pro apex as DAF pointed out, I'm sharpening the misses knives all the time as she's a butcher. Good bit of kit

I'm using one of these Lansky Sharpeners :: Blade Medic Pocket Sharpener

Only because I'm too much of a hopeless case to learn how to use a proper sharpener

Was recently shown what may be the very best shrpener (system) - RimfireCentral.com Forums

This is what I do

hey guys thanks for sharing your ideas and i was about to buy a good sharpening kit then my radiator on my ute needs fixing 450 bux later.... TeRei mate that method sounds bloody brilliant to a poor man haha, i like it sounds simple and its cheap thanks for sharing

Double end grinder, buffing wheel one end with a basic jeweller s mix on it for finishing, other end of the thing is an off the shelf linishing belt setup. Start to finish 60 seconds tops, and those fuckers are sharrrrp.
Takes about an extra 90 seconds to do an axe as you gotta change the belt. And then that mother is same same.

Another vote for the edge pro system, a workmate is making me a knife currently ( mrs is getting me it for my birthday), he uses a linisher and gets them razor sharp. Will post up pics of new knife when I get it
